Collection: Ballast and Ignitors

Yes, fluorescent light ballasts are recyclable, but they should be taken to proper recycling or hazardous waste facilities.

Yes, fluorescent light ballasts are considered hazardous waste because they may contain PCBs or other toxic materials.

A fluorescent can light ballast is a device that regulates the current to fluorescent lamps in recessed or “can” fixtures.

Yes, some fluorescent light ballasts can be repaired, but often replacement is safer and more reliable.

Yes, fluorescent light ballasts can be replaced with a compatible new ballast.

A fluorescent light ballast regulates the current to the lamp, providing the proper voltage to start and operate the light safely.

To fix a fluorescent light ballast, check wiring and connections, replace faulty components, or replace the ballast if damaged.

Test a fluorescent light ballast by turning off power, checking for continuity with a multimeter, and measuring voltage output while the lamp is on.

Connect the ballast wires to the lamp and power supply according to the wiring diagram, ensuring correct color matching and secure connections.

Fluorescent light ballasts typically last 10–20 years, depending on usage and quality.

A fluorescent light ballast is a device that regulates current and provides the proper voltage to start and operate fluorescent lamps.

A fluorescent light ballast controls the current and provides the voltage needed to start and run a fluorescent lamp safely.

The fluorescent light ballast is located inside the fixture, usually behind or above the tubes.

No, a fluorescent light cannot work without a ballast, because the ballast regulates current and provides the proper starting voltage.
